Full liquid recipe-Spicy Bean soup

I got so sick of bland so here goes. Should work on any full liquid, blended food, soft food diet. Nutritional contents are based on the brands I used, but you could use anything... Spicy Bean Soup 1 can Old El Paso Fat Free Refried Beans 1 can V8 hot and spicy (small can that comes in 6 pack) 1/6 cup Whey protein mix (vanilla or unflavored) 1/4 cup Carb options cheddar sauce Garlic salt to taste empty beans into blender with some of the V8 and blend until smooth. Add remainder of V8 and protein mix. Blend some more. Stir in cheddar sauce. Yield: 6 4-oz servings Nutrition per serving: Protein 5.8 gm Carbs 8.7 gm Fat 1.5 gm This ought to give Kathy something to report on! Joy

Sounds good Joy. Are you keeping these for future e-mails or do I have to copy and paste them now? I'm feeling very tired and lazy today. Caboose T-23

I'll have the recipe--ask if you want it again Joy

MMMMM. That sounds really good, although right about now I could eat almost anything...today is day 7 of full liquid diet and tomorrow starts clear liquids. I will definitely have to go out and buy the ingredients so my hubby can make it for me when I get to the puree diet post-op. He's a good hubby, he even washes dishes, and vacuums too! I bet that bean soup will really help the release the gas! Thanks for the recipe. Karen

Joy, I'm unfamiliar with the carb options cheddar sauce. Do you get that in a nutrition store, or a grocery store? Karen

Its new since the first of the year at the regular grocery store. Actually it would have been better for our purposes to use cheese whiz--the carbs are low in this, but the fat is high. I just happened to have it. Joy
